An old book for a good summer read

A few  years ago my New Years resolution was to do something for friends.  I crocheted "huggies" one a week.  I did a years worth. Last year I wanted to do something to sharpen my mental ability.  So I started to read books I mean I mean a lot of books.  I would read 2 1/2 books week.

My taste is usually mysteries & thrillers.  I read, Grisham, Kellerman, Clark, Baldacciand Patterson.  As soon as one is published, I search for on  Half.com: The Smartest Place to Buy and Sell Books, Music, Movies, Games and more...  I have gotten amazing bargains. 

Just recently, Baldacci, Grisham and Patterson have taken a relief from thrillers and have written little home spun books.  Small amount of pages, but wonderfully filled with love and hope.

I read James Patterson's  book,Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas,  in one seating.  It was the kind of book you read on a rainy day, or at the beach under a shade tree, or in the middle of the night.  When I read a book that I love, I don't want it to end.  When it does, I hold it in my hands for a long period of time and relive the story.

My first impulse it to share it, like I did with Wally Lamb's "She Has Come Undone" But this one I am keeping.  If you want to give a gift of love to a sister or a best friend go to Half. Com and buy it, or go the library and borrow it.  Or pay the full price and buy it.

I cried, than I cried again than I cried once more.  A few years ago, there was a book called "The Bridges of Madison Country," I would see people on airplanes reading it.  I read it on a cruise. I finished before we made our first of call. It was a love story.

"Suzanne's Diary" is better.  So good that you will have a moment in time that will fill you with hope and joy.  It is a love story that makes your emotions fly every which way.  If you chose to give it as a gift, it will never leave the home of the reader.  I finished it at 4:20am, and wanted to call each and every one of you on the phone and tell you all about it.

I am not Oprah®, and I have no idea if she even recommended the book, so I will be the messenger for this book.  Buy it for your Mom, your sister, your daughter, your best friend.  Buy it for yourself.  it is a gift of the heart.  I kept looking at the picture of James Patterson and wondered how a man could write such a book, than I read the back of the book and found out!

But wisely I have waited to write you.  I paid $1.97 for a brand new never read book on half. Com, but if I paid full rate, it would have been worth every penny.  I the Book  is like never we have had in the past.  It seems like the world is at war.  This book will take your mind away from that, and lift your spirits sky high.



Tell me how you like/loved them!  I can hardly wait to compare notes!
